Jennifer,

I had heard that AMS is susceptible to XSS attacks. To see for myself I tried a simple script on the AMS console. I added a simple alert("hello XSS") to the description field for creating a new application and sure enough the script opened the alert popup after clicking the OK button. Is this a known issue?

@Thomas Thanks for your question. SpringSource AMS is part of the SpringSource Enterprise product and is not sold separately. Prices for SpringSource Enterprise vary depending on the level of service (Gold/Platinum), number of servers being monitored and nature of the deployment (dev/QA vs production). To get a price for your individual deployment please contact a sales agent or leave your contact info for someone to reach out to you.

[...] SpringSource vient de livrer une solution de monitoring des applications basée sur Spring. Voyons ici un système concurrent de Glassbox. Cependant, cet outil tire partie des nouvelles possibilités de configuration par annotation offertes par Spring 2.5. Il comprend automatiquement les annotations @Controller, @Repository, @Transactional, @Component et @Service. L'avantage donc par rapport à Glassbox finalement c'est la prise en compte automatique des beans gérés par Spring dans le monitoring. [...]

Erwin,
AMS is a solution for managing and monitoring applications in production. We are also aiming to unify the tools that are used by both developers and operations staff. We plan to do this by providing the right mixture of detailed information that would be useful at development time with aggregate data that can be used to monitor applications in production. However, I would not consider AMS to be a profiling system.

The aim of the blog post was to describe how Spring applications themselves are instrumented, which is something we've done to supplement the Hyperic HQ Enterprise Edition that is included with AMS (which is a self-described "systems and application management solution"). Method execution times are collected in some cases to provide statistics like Throughput and AverageExecutionTime, which could also be used in production to indicate potential bottlenecks in the overall application.

Spring Framework was enhanced to expose management data from Spring applications through JMX. Even if we had not gone with a compile-time weaving approach, additional jars containing this new functionality would have to be added to the application classpath (assuming you were in an environment that even supported load-time weaving). It's basically the same concept as upgrading to the next version of Spring Framework.

We are looking into adding support for Glassfish/Sun Java System Application Server in a future release.
